Paessler presented at Tech Field Day Extra from Interop ITX last month, giving an overview of the PRTG monitoring solution. Robert Boardman has been using PRTG in his home lab, and was anxious to get more details during the presentation. While being Windows only is a bit of a limitation, Robert really enjoys PRTG’s self-contained nature, its fully customizable sensors, and that it allows for distributed monitoring.

Drew Lentz went to Interop ITX earlier this month. He found out two things. One: the ITX stands for ” the X factor – what’s needed to thrive in this rapidly changing environment.” Two: The wireless industry didn’t show up! Drew still had a good time at the show, and thought the show’s change in venue and focus was nicely done. But in this piece, he gets into who wasn’t there and, more importantly, why it’s vital for the wireless industry to have a presence at these kind of events.

Frank Owen has been going to Interop, and it’s his self-professed favorite IT conference. He wrote up a review of the experience this year, which included the Workshop/Seminar pass for the first time. With this, he saw a lot of interesting sessions on the leadership track. He also attended a Tech Field Day Extra presentation from Paessler, with a look at their PRTG infrastructure monitoring solution. We’ll look forward to seeing Frank there again!
